Fla, Rebublican Party Rescinds Support for Katherine Harris

Surely this should have been the final blow to Katherine Harris' senate campaign.

The state Republican Party bluntly told Rep. Katherine Harris that she couldn't win this fall's Senate election and that the party wouldn't support her campaign, a letter obtained Monday by The Associated Press shows.....The letter said: "Katherine, though it causes us much anguish, we have determined that your campaign faces irreparable damage. We feel that we have no other choice but to revoke our support.

"The polls tell us that no matter how you run this race, you will not be successful in beating Bill Nelson, who would otherwise be a vulnerable incumbent if forced to face a stronger candidate," it said.

But no, Harris could care less. The day after receiving the letter in May she placed her name on the September primary ballot. She says those that signed the letter were pressured into doing so.

As for the current polls:

In a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, Harris had a comfortable lead in the GOP primary race but was behind Nelson by 37 percentage points in a general election matchup.

Really, the ingratitude of FL Republicans is amazing. Without Katherine Harris, George W. Bush would never have become president.
It's obvious that Harris' campaign is doomed. But there was a time in which a Republican's sense of propriety required him to stand by his friends apart from whether it was convenient to do so. Katherine Harris put her thumb on the scale for these people, and this is the thanks she gets?
Sharper than a serpent's tooth...

all rethugs should learn a lesson about how bushco operates from this. They'll throw you under a bus as soon as your usefulness comes to an end.
And does anyone else think it should be criminal for the person who leads the campaign in her state is the same one who certifies the votes for her candidate!?
Ahh, katie, we hardly knew ye.
More fun here.

Let this be a lesson to all those who think it's good strategy to have the powerful owe you a favor: They couldn't care less. In fact, you are probably a liability. Let them advance (or not) on their own merits.
